Gerald Charles Unveils Its Most Complex Timepiece, The Masterlink Perpetual Calendar

Gerald Charles, the independent Swiss watchmaking Maison founded by the great Mr. Gérald Charles Genta, unveils its most complicated watch since its reestablishment less than a decade ago. The Masterlink Perpetual Calendar, developed entirely in-house, marks a new chapter for the young and ambitious Maison as it continues to expand its repertoire of poetic complications.

In keeping with Gerald Charles’s “No Compromise” watchmaking philosophy, established by Mr. Genta more than a quarter of a century ago, the Masterlink Perpetual Calendar introduces an in-house, asymmetrical, automatic perpetual calendar calibre with a three-counter display.

Gear train

Gear train

Is a set of interconnected gears that transmit power from the mainspring of the watch to various components such as the hands, mechanisms and other watch functions .

The gear train functions to regulate the movement of the watch and ensure time accuracy. It consists of multiple gears of different sizes that mesh together, allowing the transfer of rotational energy and controlling the speed and torque within the watch mechanism. The gear train is an essential component of mechanical watches and plays a crucial role in the overall functioning of the watch.
